Trader Joe’s is nothing like a regular store. It has its own brand of foods from all over the world. Don’t expect to find lay’s potato chips or Heinz ketchup etc…. Some things are great some not so great. TJ’s sells organic whereas Aldi doesn’t. TJ’s has healthier brands in general. They have the best nut selection too for a great price. I love it and wish there was one closer. I don’t like Aldis and don’t like how Publix over charges for everything. Quite frankly, it’s insulting how much they overcharge.
